DRAKE HOTEL

The Drake Hotel was at 416 So. 10th Street in Minneapolis as a luxury hotel in 1926. At the Rathskeller in 1967 there was dancing nightly to the Bradfords, making their premiere US appearance (they were from England). They instituted a new rock policy in August 1969; just before that were the Four Kaye Brothers.

The building was badly run down and used as a homeless shelter. It is apparently still there.
